What our students and families say

1:1 English Tuition

“Claire, you have absolutely saved the day! From the very beginning, you quickly identified the gaps in her understanding and created a thoughtful and comprehensive plan, which was hugely reassuring for us as parents.”

Parent of a GCSE student

“I came out with 9s in iGCSE English Language and Literature. She combines high expectations with genuine care for her students' understanding and wellbeing.”

iGCSE student

“As a dyslexic student, a subject such as English Literature was incredibly daunting at A Level. I would have not succeeded if it wasn't for your support and dedication.”

A Level English Literature student

“Claire is an outstanding English tutor. Not only did she put our daughter in a strong place for her exams, but she inspired her intellectually and truly grew her love of literature.”

Parent of an iGCSE student

“Thank you so much for all your help throughout the GCSE period; you have made me jump 3 whole grades and actually understand what I've been meant to be doing.”

GCSE student

“Before having lessons, I struggled with English Language, but she was always patient and explained things in a way that made everything much easier to understand. Thanks to her help, I achieved two 7s in my English GCSEs. I then went on to study English Literature at A Level.”

GCSE and A Level student

“Since starting lessons with Claire, my daughter's marks have risen significantly, and she now genuinely enjoys both English Literature and Language. The change in her confidence has been remarkable.”

Parent of a GCSE student

“Thank you for making literature come alive! You've put the excitement, passion and excellence back into our English experience.”

Parent of a GCSE student

“I was very confused sorting out GCSE English for my son, who needs extra help. Claire instantly had a great plan and got to know him. He's thriving, learning AND HAPPY.”

Parent of a GCSE student

“Claire has been amazing at helping my daughter during her A Level English Literature. She has given her so much confidence and we could not recommend her enough.”

Parent of an A Level student

“Claire is engaging, supportive and encouraging, and this has given my daughter the confidence she needs.”

Home Education Courses

“My son is home educated and a very reluctant writer, so I was quite worried about how he would cope with GCSE English. The biggest compliment I can give is that he genuinely enjoys his English lessons, which I never thought I'd say!”

Parent of a home-educated GCSE student

“We had previously used an American homeschool curriculum but found it left us unprepared for KS3 or IGCSE. My son is learning more about writing and deconstructing texts in these few weeks than he has in his entire education.”

Parent of KS3 and iGCSE students

“My daughter was nervous to start because she lacked confidence in her own abilities. She has proven herself quite capable, and absolutely loves the online whiteboard.”

Parent of an iGCSE course student

“You are an amazing teacher. My children have enjoyed all your lessons so far, including the recorded sessions. I'm really pleased that we found you.”

Parent of iGCSE students

“An engaging and committed tutor who makes learning fun and less daunting. My child is always eager to do the work set by her.”

Parent of a KS3 student

“Claire is very entertaining and has helped to make new material fun and less scary. She has also given me new perspectives on older material.”
